20070723 : Bordered and edited.
The new spread isn't much different from the old spread:
However, the whole thing reads a bit better - and that's what matters.
==================================================
If these things have been annoying you, you'll be happy to learn that the next two pages are going to be much more traditional.
Damn, that's a big fucking panel.
Don't worry about the red light moving around in the sky. You'll get no explanation from me- I have no idea what the damned thing is. They're like weeds in north central PA and south central NY, which is where Greymalkin is at the moment. xeno and I have seen them multiple times- they have a funny habit of slowing down, speeding up, and/or completely disappearing without notice.
There's also a hell of a lot of military air traffic in that area, which probably has something to do with it.
Nice to be finished before midnight for a change... despite this being quite possibly the worst illustration of Greymalkin to date. Funny how the ass is always what ends up on the top for a few days. :P
Can't wait to start on the next scene... exposition never seems to come out as well as the OMFGWTF!!!! bits.

Greymalkin is on 2 and making observations on things happening on 1. He can do that- he's a Wild And Crazy Guy.
Basic rule of thumb is that every number in front of the decimal point of an HRD reading is the number of Annex levels a person can sense "through" with proper training. Higher-level individuals can sense each other like extremely strong magnets in near proximity- Greymalkin knows Grij is there the way you know you'll need to take a dump in the near future... and Grij will doubtless pick up on Greymalkin as soon as he adapts to an AEI that's roughly 1/10th of what he's used to.
